If it was Mine I would set the carbs level, Set the rear end 3* up to match the 3* down and move on... You start lifting the trans then the motor look's like it is taking a nose dive... If you want to lift the trans.. Lift the motor as well, (Keep the carb level)..Here's a shot of the truck we built for my son... You can't see the true angle of the drive shaft.. But when its aired down the rear end is as high as your's..And he can run all day long like that..

Perfect! Then get it close, and you can do any adjustment after a test drive, if needed.

From the angle we are looking at your angle finder,, If we seen it from the side it look's to be 5*.. Is that right ??? We are seeing it from a angle,, Not dead on..
